The Chief Pilot
note
On 5 September 2002 at the beginning of
afternoon, the Cessna 150 (FBTUI) crashed
during a simulated engine failure after
takeoff. The crew made up of the instructor
and a student left fortunately unhurt.
The FBTUI was strongly damaged and will
not be repaired.
Nothing seems to explain this accident
if it is not a whole of unfavourable conjectures
during this exercise which is, let us point
out it, a requirement in the training of
the pilots and their skills reactualization
to know to them to make, and which always
constitutes a very delicate phase of flight.
It appears very unjust that this accident
could concern a professional whise a strong
strictness reputation and a particularly
careful and serious pilot.
However, this event must recall us that
whatever our experience could be, we all
are vulnerable.
Have good flights.
